Kenmore Guide Classes 1-4 | Academic Year 2016

LOCATED AT: Moorhouse Road, Harrow, Middlesex, HA3 9JA

TIMINGS 10:10 am – 1:05pm Timely Arrival is a Must!

Please ensure you review this guide thoroughly and if you have any queries, please raise them with a member of the Madressa Administration team in person or via email admin@madressa.net. Please note that the timing for children in Classes 1-4 at Kenmore Park School is different to the timing of children in Classes 5-12 in Stanmore. Please ensure children are dropped and picked on time.

DRESS CODE Students should observe modest dressing. Although girls are not Baligh when they start Class 1, we would like to encourage all girls to wear appropriate clothing: to cover their arms and legs and they must wear a scarf.

Class 1 students are requested to bring a spare set of clothes every week, in case of any toilet accidents. Please note that we cannot change children who have soiled their clothes. Instead, you will be called in to change them; however, we are able to change children who have wet themselves. Children will be playing outside during break, therefore please ensure appropriate clothing is worn e.g. jackets. (Please make sure all jackets are labelled with your child’s full name).

LUNCH All Class 1-4 children must bring in a named lunch box and a bag big enough to carry their manuals and lunch boxes. No food (such as burgers, chips, etc.) will be sold on the premises. Therefore, it is paramount that lunch is brought every week, but please ensure that you send in only what your child can eat so that there is no food wastage.

MEDICATION We do not administer medication on the premises unless it is a life threatening situation i.e. epi-pen or inhalers. (Epi-pens will only be administered by trained teachers and inhalers by first aiders.)

You MUST inform the administration in writing to admin@madressa.net if your child may require this medication to be administered and also bring in a doctor’s letter alongside your consent for us to

administer this. Please hand in the letter to Kenmore ladies coordinator.

ALLERGIES If your child suffers from any food allergies (e.g.: eggs, nuts, dairy products, etc.) YOU MUST inform the respective class teacher as well as email admin@madressa.net.

to their needs. If they wet themselves, we put

gloves on and encourage the child to change

themselves with minimal contact by teacher if

needed. Visiting the toilet is supervised, but

children are encouraged to manage on their own

as appropriate.
